I think a pilot shirt is about $40 US, if I recall correctly. I haven't bought pants by them selves, but I have bought suits there. About $400 US gets you a suit with 1 Jacket, 2 pr Pants, 1 Shirt and 1 Silk Tie. The quality in the stitching is enough to impress my dry cleaner (Korean, of course) in the States. For the shirts, I selected a heavy cotton/polyester twill. It takes a nice medium starch, and comes brilliant white from a washer & dryer.
